Stamp with Fun #62

Good morning sweethearts. Oh what a day it is here in Melbourne. It is currently about 5degrees celcius here in Melbourne and going to be about 12 degrees highest temp. Brrrrr.....!!!!! I don't like it when it is this cold. At least it doesn't snow here.

On to my card I hear you say. LOL. I made this card with the sketch from Stamp with Fun and one of my 'new' Sweet Pea stamps called Bad Hair Day. Hahahaha I love the name of this stamp and of course I love this cutie.

Bizzy Bec's June Monthly Customer Challenge

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well. I am good.

I thought I would show you this card I made for the Bizzy Becs monthly customer challenge. This month the challenge is to make something with a Winter theme and also the added challenge to use one of the two sketches provided.

I loved making this card. The Hanglar image was stamped out for me by the lovely Christine. I have had her for ages and haven't had the chance to use her yet. I can't wait to get to all the other stamped images I have. I can tell you now I have quite a collection now and it just keeps growing. I had to buy myself a big file folder as the little ones weren't cutting it anymore and I had a draw full of stamped images as well. Now they are all in the folder and are much easier to find. Talking about Hanglar stamps - did you know they are now selling worldwide on ebay. You have to be quick though as their kits sell so so so quickly. I was lucky enough to get myself the little baby set on the weekend. Yay....!!!! LOL. Okay enough babble from me. Enjoy your day.

Just photos of my baby girl

Here are photos of my baby girl or should I say not so much my
baby girl but my big girl. Sorry just getting sentimental.
She is 2 1/2 yrs now and getting so big. She is definately a Mummy's girl
and has the temper to prove it (I have an awful temper).

This photo would have to be one of my favs of her.
She looks gorgeous in a dress but never keeps them on for more
than 5mins.
Her cheese face LOL.

Hanna and Friends Sketch


Good morning everyone. Wow what a wet and wild weekend we had here. So different to last weekend which was sunshine sunshine sunshine. We are definately in Winter. Good news though. I found a dress to wear to my sisters wedding but I just can't seem to find a suitable pair of shoes. I have found lots and lots of shoes that I love and would look perfect with my dress but unfortunately my sister is having a garden wedding in Winter. Can you believe that. So of course because of that I can't wear/buy the shoes that I want - boo hoo :(

My card today was made with this sketch from Hanna and Friends . I must admit that I am seriously addicted to Sweet Pea stamps and can't get enough. I really have to control myself when they have a new plate come out as I want to buy them all. LOL. I bought this one from Delicious Papercrafting - the wonderful Aussie store by the lovely Kristy. Hope you like.

Stamp Something Digi Day Challenge

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well. It is Saturday already. Can you believe it...??? Where do the days go...??? LOL. I am super excited today as I have one of my oldest girlfriends coming this afternoon so we can go shopping for an outfit for me to wear to my sisters wedding. I so hope I find something nice to wear. If I can't I think it might just have to be a nice suit. I am dying to buy myself some new high heels. Hehehe. Hopefully I can find some nice ones of those too. LOL.

Okay on to my cards. I made these during the week but they fit perfectly with the Stamp Something Challenge this week of using a Digital Image. Both of these are digital. This first one is by Spesch Stamps. This is Kailan but thought I would make him a Kailee. LOL. It is the perfect unisex image. Does he remind you of Where the Wild Things Are...!!!!! ??????? LOL.
This second card I made with a free colouring page by Precious Moments. I just did a Google search and this is one of the images that came up. I made it as a Wedding card. Hmmm don't know whether it will be my sister's or not yet. We will see. LOL.

TGIF with Summer releases

Good morning everyone. Just thought I would show you a couple more cards made with the Spesch Stamps digital stamps that were released on the 1st. I must admit that I just love Cool Dude and our Summer girl is pretty special too. You can purchase them here.



It has been one of those weeks. I am suffering from headaches again this week and feeling really ill in the evenings. I know I know I need to go to the Doctor. When do I have time. I was thinking of going next week but I have volunteered for Kinder duty next Thursday and I am not taking all my kids along with me. I really can't handle my kids at the moment either. We are off for a tour of Tyler's Primary School today so hoping they are all well behaved for me. Lachlan wants to play. I wish I had of organized it earlier so I could have got someone to come and look after Ash and Lachlan while we go to the school. Fingers crossed.

WOYWDW


Sorry it is late but thought I would join in again this week. I got a few new Sweet Pea Stamps today so thought I would colour them. My desk is always neat. Shock horror. hahaha. I always clean up as soon as I have finished making a card even if I am about to make another straight away. Must be a little OCD. LOL.

Happy Birthday Sketch Saturday

Good morning everyone. Did we all enjoy the Spesch Stamps release yesterday. I love releasing new stamps and as I said yesterday we have some super duper Winter images coming the next release.

Today I am showing a card made with the lovely Sophie stamp by Spesch Stamps that is now available as a clear stamp woo hoo...!!!!! I decided to stamp her on something different. She was stamped on to Eraldo di Paolo Field Pad card which can be used for watercolouring, pencil, ink and crayon. I coloured her skin in with Copics and the rest with Prismacolor pencils. It was lots of fun. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Daisy D's and was stamped in Rose Red ink by SU and then I went over it with a pink Spica pen. I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday who are celebrating their 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday SS.

Spesch Stamp Summer Release

Oh how exciting. It is the first of the month so that means it is release day for Spesch Designer Stamps. I must say that I really am super excited today as I get to introduce another new designer to our company. These two (see below) are a couple of four by our new designer Max and we also have a Summer image from Christina. Please go by the Spesch Blog and check out the DT's inspiring work and swing by the store and purchase these fabulous cuties.

Summer Breeze
This lovely is being entered in to the Cupcake Craft Challenge this week
with a theme of 'Summer Delights'. I can think of nothing better than sitting
under a tree and getting that breeze from the ocean. Heaven.
Beach Girl
'Gotta wear shades' at The Pink Elephant and this card is being
entered right in there with it. Love these bright summer colours.
